> { set +o; COMMAND; } | sh
Required by POSIX, but some older shells don't handle it well. Solaris
/bin/sh appears to just ignore it. Older ash gives output that cannot be
reparsed as valid commands.
> COMMAND | . /dev/fd/0
Depends on the file system providing it. But named fifos might be more
widely supported; does this look any better?
mkfifo fifo
(COMMAND >fifo)&
. fifo
rm fifo
> Can't you use? COMMAND | sh +x
No, that always sets +x in the child shell, even when it was not set in
the parent.
Or, one other idea:
{ echo "set -$-"; COMMAND; } | sh
- --
Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
